WrestleMania has seen its share of legendary match-ups, however the epic battle between Mr. McMahon and Hulk Hogan may just be the most anticipated match of all-time. Friends, enemies, and business partners for over two decades, the two have engaged in trials and tribulations both in and out of the ring. It's 20 years in the making and it will take place at WrestleMania XIX.

After defeating The Rock in both of their previous WrestleMania matches, Stone Cold(TM) Steve Austin will take on The Rock once again in this battle of greatness. The Rock heads into WrestleMania without the support of the "millions and millions" of The Rock's fans, while Stone Cold is riding a wave of exuberance following his return to the ring last month after a nearly eight month hiatus.

This jam-packed event also features two key world championship title matches that may change the face of Raw(R) and SmackDown!(TM) Representing Raw, Triple H, the World Heavyweight Champion, will defend his title against Booker T, while SmackDown! Superstar Kurt Angle puts the WWE Championship on the line against Brock Lesnar.

Five years ago, Shawn Michaels faced Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania XIV. It was to be his last WrestleMania match due to what was thought to be a career-ending back injury. Surgery, rehabilitation, and a show stopping return at SummerSlam last August has put the spotlight on the Heartbreak Kid(TM) once again. This time, it's against a sly, back-stabbing, and arrogant former Undisputed WWE Champion Chris Jericho.

Rounding out the event:

- Undertaker(R) and Nathan Jones(TM) vs. Big Show(TM) and

A-Train(TM)

- Eddie Guerrero(TM) and Chavo Guerrero(TM) vs. Charlie Haas(TM)
